Agenda item

To consider a report of the Director of Culture, Communities and Business Services setting out an application for Harbour Works Consent.

The Board received the report of the Director of Culture, Communities and Business Services seeking retrospective approval to a Harbour Works Consent application.

Members heard that the Harbour Office had identified the development in question and that no permissions had been sought prior to its installation. It was noted that retrospective consent of this nature was a rare occurrence and generated a significant amount of additional work for officers to process the application.

RESOLVED:

That the Board approves Harbour Works Consent for the proposal set out in paragraph 4 of the report and subject to the following conditions:

a.    The proposal is to be built in accordance with the details, plans and method set out in paragraph 4.

b.    The size, arrangement and specific location of the enhancement features are to be submitted to and approved by the Harbour Master in writing prior to installation.

c.    The applicant should ensure that all equipment, temporary structures, waste and/or debris associated with the consented activities be removed upon completion of the consented activities.
